I hadn't ever heard of the "wishing well" name for NGC3532. A quick web search shows it was made up by amateur Ray Palmer in 2006 as a personal whim to popularise the cluster. http://www.ngc3532.com/idea.htm |
Surprisingly all main stream web sites with data about NGC3532 now refer too it a the Wishing Well Cluster. Yes it is a orange star but had too much halo so and too remove this I had to take some color out, I put it back maybe a bit much now
